Cashmere/wool jumpers for petites???

[Onesecondofsummer]

My 80 yr old DM is a size 10 but very petite and shrinking. She wanted a classic style cashmere or wool jumper but I can’t find one that doesn’t drown her. I’ve tried M&S, John Lewis, Debenhams, Boden. A lot of petite stockists I’ve found don’t stock tops or they’re polyester/ viscose mixes.
She just wants a warm jumper for the winter!
Does anyone have any ideas? I’ve also started to see if I can find childrens’ stockists but haven’t come up with anything there either….

Brora have beautiful cashmere and wool jumper from size 4, but very expensive. Your DM is worth it!

Maybe look in the kids sections? For example www.nearlynewcashmere.co.uk/collections/childrens/products/copy-of-children-s-ivory-crew-neck-cardigan-age-9-11

They’re beautiful jumpers but she’s only 4ft 10 so they’d be too long in the sleeve and body for her…

Thanks. Will have a look at those

I’m petite and have bought cropped cashmere cardies from House of Bruer and Boden before now - cropped on normal people is about right on me!

Woolovers jumpers are quite fitted so might work in the smallest size?

Hobbs! My very petite mum gets lots of clothes from Hobbs (and so do I) because they fit wonderfully. Not cheap, but lovely fit.

Thanks. Great idea. I’ve just found a cropped option on Pure… hopefully more options elsewhere as the new season stock appears.

Tried that. The trouble is it doesn’t change the proportions of the arms/body length. She just looks shrink wrapped in a smaller size😂

Will check it out. Thank you.
